The Spektrum Simulator Dongle Actually Taught Me Something Today

Okay so I had no idea simulator dongles were even a thing until I started poking around today's restocks. Apparently you can plug the SPMWS3000T into your computer and use your actual Spektrum logo Spektrum transmitter with RC flight and driving simulators wirelessly. That is a genuinely cool way to practice without burning up your actual gear. Twenty four units landed and it comes in at $65.78, which feels worth it if it saves you from crashing a real vehicle while you're still learning. I had to look this one up but apparently sim practice is a big deal in the flying community especially.

Also restocked is the RPM81812 front bumper and skid plate for the Arrma Kraton 6S. RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate Arrma Kraton 6S RPM logo RPM stuff has a reputation for being tougher than the stock plastic, so if you run a Kraton hard this seems like a smart upgrade at just under $21.

There is also a tiny GEA2003S30JST from Gens Ace, which is a 200mAh 3S LiPo with a JST plug. That capacity is really small but I'm guessing it's aimed at micro builds or receivers that need a tiny backup pack.

If you run any of these setups I'd love to hear how you use them. Drop a comment or shoot us an email!
